We've spent a lot of time on this podcast talking about grief over the loss of our beloved companion animals.
Much of the content has revolved around anticipatory grief and the loss of a pet due to a terminal illness or old age.

Runaways.
Accidents.
Surrenders.
Custody battles.
Behavioral euthanasia.
And they all carry with them trauma and nuanced, complex emotions.
My dear friend Coleen Ellis of Two Hearts Pet Loss Center joins me to unravel those emotions and how guilt and grief intertwine.
